LOOK OUT!! SHE'S GOT A (staple) GUN!!

Oh Yeah! I'm lockin' and loadin'! I'm packin' some heat! I'm a lady on a mission!!............................... ok, I'm just a wannabe upholsterer but, I have to say I'm dang proud of my chairs, so much so that I went on to the kitchen chairs which is where we have all our meals, these chairs were bought white, or cream and thanks to Gabby and Isey now they are a dirty brown!

So I got me some more fabric and got my 38 magnum staple gun and got to work! Practice really does make perfect!

This pic is the before and after, the green is the new fabric and that dirty chair on the right is the before, I'm too embarrassed to show you the entire chair (what the hell? I just posted and the pics aren't even in yet!) anyway on with the post,

This is the remaining fabric and the covered chair, 3 more to go!

here is a closeup of my handiwork!

This is fun! I'm off to do the others and find more stuff to staple!!

Here's an update on the dining chairs, I see improvement from the first one I did, do you? It was all because of your encouraging words, believe me!

OK girlfriend you're becoming the pro of chair covering... Yes I can see the difference... I thought the first one was good but oh my these are professional... GREAT JOB!!! When I need one I know who to call... Love YA
